#because honestly sokka was always struggling with this and his misogyny was a symptom

[saintcarlyon]

unpopular opinion: the live action Avatar:TLA hasn’t abandoned Sokka’s gender issues, they’ve just focused more on how young men limit themselves when they look to one ideal of masculinity. He almost botches things with Suki due to embarrassment of not being as trained as her. He downplayed his ingenuity at Omashu. All to be what his father was and what he felt his village and culture expected of him. It’s not toxic masculinity but it is still damaging because it denies him fulfillment.

And that is an issue that feminism cares about and hopes to address.
